Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

We awarded this nursing home an A- in short-term care. Short-term care scores are meaningful for people requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates additional highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a wide spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last metric we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to return home from the facility. We found that 5.8 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

Inspections is another area where this nursing home excelled. In fact, we awarded this facility a grade of B+ for our inspections rating. This score is far more impressive than its overall grade. Our inspection scores are based on many items located in the a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes that excel in this area tend to have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This place received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that the inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to create an imminent risk to resident health or safety. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of C. Our nursing score assesses the facility's nurse staffing levels. We weigh both the levels of skill of the nurses as well as the number of hours spent with residents. This place averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day, which is not an impressive total. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics. While this nursing home got docked a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in some of these quality-based metrics. With less than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed very well in this metric. This is often a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as employing a protocol of moving patients at least once a day.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Turning to the fourth area, this nursing home really didn't perform well. Due to a rock bottom grade of F in long-term care, this was its weakest area. When nursing homes receive this type of score in long-term care it is a bad sign for resident care and it may indicate that the facility is not as well-staffed. One of the factors we considered after nursing hours was vaccines. Candidly, we were a bit alarmed this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to just 90.15151 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this place was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
